I thought this was an interesting theory.
If I follow it to the conclusion my feeble brain came to, then it seems that Show wants that I should stop watching it and go do something better with my time.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is that a reference to Melly's speaking style?
I think so. She said something this episode, I forget what it was, some kind of play on words I think. Anyway it reminded me of Tara.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So it could be considered a resounding success?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Adorabubble? Because I would have dumped her right there, myself. Obsession with the Dollhouse aside.

I noticed Echo never poked through her imprint this week. I wonder if the imprint is harder to overcome if it comes from a single source.

Always Anti-fascist!
If that were true, Joss is even worse at PR than David Simon. Which I thought a physical impossibility. (Simon famously made the decision not to promote the fact that some of the hot guys on "The Wire" didn't always wear a whole lot in favor of using words like "zeitgeist" and calling the American Dream a "Ponzi Scheme". very smart. The way to sell a show continually on the brink of cancellation? NSM.

Laga,
after the massive reset, she's not supposed to poke through anymore.

Is this from the show, or official? Because I thought it was part of the show premise.
Not that I'm bothered either way--good storytelling can still be done, if they're up to it. I'm just surprised that what we were told was the pitch is so soon no longer it.
Then again, it would put pay to the argument that Echo could never break all the way free, because it would violate the stated premise of the show. Makes me wonder what we know about the stated premise, and how much Joss cares what it is.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From the show. After "Needs," Caroline was supposed to have fulfilled her NEED and stop fucking with Echo. But then in the next episode, Echo asked for an imprint, so it's clear she didn't go back to her blank slate.

Oh that's right. I had forgotten about that.
